The feds say Donald Domingues reported $259,725 as income and paid $64,909 in taxes but he allegedly failed to mention a $351,000 sales commission, which would have bumped his income up to just over $610,000 and his tax liability to $186,000.
A Lafayette man is facing up to five years behind bars after a federal grand jury indicted him Wednesday for allegedly welshing on his income tax bill in 2007 to the tune of $121,000.
U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley's office says 56-year-old Donald Domingues faces one count of tax evasion and an additional count of filing a false tax return. According to the indictment, Domingues' 2007 Form 1040 reported $259,725 as income and paid $64,909 in taxes. However, the feds say Domingues failed to mention a $351,000 sales commission, which would have bumped his income up to just over $610,000 and his tax liability to $186,000.
If convicted Domingues also faces a $100,000 fine, restitution and one year of supervision upon release.
